Three albums from the Sheffield based artist David Newman, aka Autistici.

A remix of Disclosure's 'Tenderly' from Northern vibe-machine Kidnap Kid, this sounds like it was conceived in an optimistic vacuum. Bouncier than Mr. Blobby's testicles covered in Flubber, it has a smooth, tropical vibe that will leave you yearning for a cocktail-filled pineapple (unless you have a heart of stone). I'm pretty convinced that if you stab someone during this tune, jelly beans will gush from the wound. Yum. In terms of release, we've been assured that it's coming soon and will probably be available as a free download, so head over to Kidnap Kid's Facebook page [...]

Yesterday, Rolo Tomassi treated us to the first taste of their as-yet-untitled upcoming third studio album, in the form of new single, 'Old Mystics' . It's the first new music we've heard from the band (as opposed to the previously unreleased demos and the like on Eternal Youth ) in nearly two years, so we were pretty damned excited to hear it. First of all, go and listen to the song over on Rolo Tomassi's official Facebook page . At the [...]

It seems that we can't get enough of The Black Dahlia Murder and Skeletonwitch's UK tour. Not only did about half our writing staff pile into the Camden Underworld when the tour hit London , but our photographer in chief, Gary Wolstenholme , was on hand to snap it when the tour arrived in his native Sheffield. His sexy, sexy pictures are just after the jump. -- The Black Dahlia Murder @ Sheffield Corporation - 19 January 2012 [...]

New: Carnivals - Absences/Ino (Parts 1 & 2) Having uncovered Carnivals ' first release just under a year ago in the form of the Mavi Kara EP , I'm seriously excited for the year ahead now the Sheffield 'romanticist' producer has returned with a double sided single ' Absences / Ino (Parts 1 & 2) . In a field of moody electronica suffering saturation and lacking true pioneers, Carnivals is leaning towards an amalgamation of his former sounds: leading to the minimalist and vaguely exotic hip-hop sound particularly prevalent on 'Leeda' (which I [...]

Tweet I imagine I am a photographer in Sheffield, England. I prefer to use an old view camera, as its gritty, lo-fi style fits that of the respected local indie blog I photograph for. I have a job to do tonight: photograph band Pisco Sour Hour as they play in a local bar. Arriving, I find the band has already started. Loyal fans are sitting closer to the cramped stage, singing along to all the strange lyrics. Others avoid the unusual group [...]

Ready for your new favorite band? It'll only take you a few seconds to listen to the jangly line from this track from Standard Fare before you fall in love. The Sheffield trio is set to release their Out of Sight, Out of Town for Melodic on January 24th, and the minute I played this song, I got hooked. Emma Cooper takes the lead role on this number, and it's her performance that lends a steadying hand to the catchy tune. If [...]
